Solution

Given: Three sides of the triangle are 9 cm,11 cm and 6 cm.
To check if the triangle is a right-angled triangle, we verify by Pythagoras theorem.
Taking the longest side to be hypotenuse and other two sides as base and perpendicular, we have,
Hypotenuse, h=11 cm
Perpendicular, p=6 cm
Base, b=9 cm
According to Pythagoras theorem,
h2=p2+b2112=62+92121=36+81121=117
